Wasps in particular seem to try very hard not to publish their attendance figures. Can't think why. :)

Unless I've misread it, that's the broker basically saying that there's been nothing from Wasps since 2nd September. I could have told them that, and I bet I'd charge less than the broker too. Wasps are desperate to stall any action from the bondholders because they know that would be the...

Starmer's suit clearly isn't black enough. Do we really want to risk putting the country into the hands of an obviously disrespectful, neo-marxist, republican revolutionary? I think not.

I take Nick's point, without completely agreeing perhaps... I wonder if this endless media fawning and overblown corporate wailing is going to have unintended consequences. I've gone from "don't necessarily agree but no harm in showing some respect", through "this is getting a bit much now"...

I don't quite see that. Covid killed an awful lot of people and gave many more a long term illness. Understandably a large number of people were worried about catching it or passing it on. Anti-vax loons and "it's no worse than flu" chunterers made full use of freedom of speech and action, even...

I was thinking along the same lines. Similarly, it would be disrespectful at the current time for a mere town to embarrass a city with a royal charter. I trust Luton will conduct themselves accordingly.

People who weren't particularly keen on Ched Evans, perhaps?

Ah, it's probably been delayed out of respect for the Queen's passing. After all it wouldn't be like Wasps to mess the bondholders about, would it...

In true tabloid style then... Five things to make yourself a great king (plus one strange fact). Remove the sword from the stone. Find the Holy Grail. Beat the French in a war. Behead a wife or two. Wave well. (Not be a Catholic)

Casio F91-W, all the watch a man could ever need.... 😁 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_F-91W

I think the FSA was right on this one, and not for the first time the people running football were wrong. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/sep/09/football-supporters-association-postponements-tribute-to-queen-misssed-opportunity Maybe the FA/Premier League could show some respect to...

Cov Rugby played their fixture at the Butts tonight. Now I'm not exactly a royalist, and I am very much a Cov Rugby fan, but that felt wrong to me. I caught the end of the commentary (Cov won) and the PA was absolutely blasting out pop music! That was definitely wrong, imho. I'm not for...

Fair play to Truss, this is next level trolling. Perhaps she'll bring back Jeffrey Archer and put him in charge of the Ministry of Justice.

That's how I'm reading it. He's got a substantial investment in Wasps both financially and emotionally, and he knows they're at serious risk from the bondholders (who are understandably mistrustful). Like the owners, I think he'll say anything to discourage the bondholders taking action for...

If companies go bust because they can't or won't cope with a lower cap, then maybe they'd be better back in public ownership. Here's a better option: Re-nationalise the main energy retailers, at a cost of around 3bn (current share value). That's about the same as the Government has put in over...

I'm pretty sure there are better options. I'd start with ones that don't involve loaning private companies public money so that they can continue to make huge profits in a crisis.

It's the whole 'man/woman of the people' bollocks that well-off Tories try to pull. A bit like Truss claiming that she went to a rough school in Leeds when in fact it was one of the best schools in Yorkshire. They're one of us, you see. They feel our pain.

Can I just say now, before it all starts, I don't think I'm the right person to be 'tribute' for district CV. My archery skills aren't up to it.

I'd suspect a propaganda/psy-ops campaign by Russia here, getting a message like this passed around in an attempt to demoralise Ukrainian forces. Variations of this have been going on for a long time. In the old days it was leaflets and radio broadcasts, I'd guess it's moved on to WhatsApp and...
